Canon 600D t3i or 1100D t3?

I always recommend folk buy a beachtek DXA-5Da or DXA-DSLR instead of the zoom. The zoom is better in technical terms, but sucks for run and gun protability and usability. You could get a simple cable, but then you loose the benefit of the balanced audio and you don't have anyway to monitor the audio.

A beachtek fits in the tripod socket and gives you a headphone output so you can at least hear what the mic is picking up and some levels, your camera already has AGC off and manual level, but there is no way to switch a mono mic into a linear stereo mic (where the sound from the mono mic is the same on both channels) the beachtek allows this. Other benefits: You only need to hit record on one device. Your audio and video is contained within one file.

There is no need for synching in post.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
